[Verse 1: Jonathan Young]
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
We hope in a short time to see yous again
[Chorus: Jonathan Young]
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we reach soundings in the channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is 35 leagues
[Verse 2: Caleb Hyles]
We hove our ship to, with the wind from sou'west, boys
We hove our ship to, for to make soundings clear
'Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom
We squarеd our main yard and up channel did steer
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
We'll rant and we'll roar likе true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is 35 leagues
[Verse 3: Colm R. McGuinness]
The first land we sighted was called the Dodman
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover
And then we bore up for the South Foreland light
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail for old England
We hope in a short time to see yous again
[Chorus: Jonathan Young]
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we reach soundings in the channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is 35 leagues
[Verse 2: Caleb Hyles]
We hove our ship to, with the wind from sou'west, boys
We hove our ship to, for to make soundings clear
'Twas forty-five fathoms, with a white sandy bottom
We squarеd our main yard and up channel did steer
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
We'll rant and we'll roar likе true British sailors
We'll rant and we'll roar all on the salt seas
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England
From Ushant to Scilly is 35 leagues
[Verse 3: Colm R. McGuinness]
The first land we sighted was called the Dodman
Next Rame Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlight and Dover
